Grace Angel

Grace is the main character. She is a woman who has always felt alone and isolated; her parents were never close to her and threaten to move to New Zealand the first chance they get. Grace's only close friend is her sister Millie, and because she has promised to take care of Millie when she reaches adulthood, it is hard for her to form close friendships or relationships with men.

Jack preys on this isolation. He says that it is Millie who first attracts him to Grace, and that Grace is only a means to him getting Millie into his house of horrors; nonetheless it is that much easier to pull Grace into the world he has created because nobody else cares. Her parents has all but abandoned her, and many of her friends and boyfriends slowly fall away because of her devotion to her sister.
